How are we doing?

Learning Link Scotland Survey of Member Services

At the heart of Learning Link Scotland’s purpose are the needs of its members. It’s crucial that we find out what you need and want from us, and how we can improve the support we give you.

One important way we ask you about the work we do at learning Link Scotland is by carrying out a brief on-line survey.

Whether you are a member from the third sector or are from the public sector, are a funder or a partner; whether you have worked directly with us or just accessed our information and resources online we would like to hear your views.

By filling in the survey you will help us understand ways in which we can improve our work with you in the future. This year we are particularly focussing on our member services and how we can develop them.

The survey is just 10 questions long (multiple choice questions) and should take about 5 minutes to complete. Your answers will be treated confidentially. It is all on one page, just scroll down.

Please complete by Friday 13 January 2017

We will publish the results of the survey (which is anonymous) on our website and use the information to improve our work.

If you have any difficulties accessing the survey or want to ask us more about what Learning Link Scotland can do for you, please contact us at info@learninglinkscotland.org.uk

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete our survey.
